Strange unit of measurement. Who would find that more useful than expected compute or even just the number of chips.
It's a very useful reference point actually because once you hit 1.21 GW the AI model begins to learn at a geometric rate and we finally get to real AGI. Last I've heard this was rumored as a prediction for AI 2027, so we're almost there already.
The electric bills are getting out of hand.
I look forward to subsidizing this effort with my skyrocketing home power bill.
For someone who doesn't know what a gigawat worth of Nvidia systems is, how many high-end H100 or whatever does this get you? My estimates along with some poor-grade GPT research leads me to think it could be nearly 10 million? That does seem insane.
Did I miss the part where they mention the 10 large nuclear plants needed to power this new operation? Where's all the power coming from for this?
Build this thing in the middle of the desert and you would need around 100 sq mile of solar panels + a fuck load of batteries for it to be energy independent. The solar farm would be around $10 billion which is probably far less than the gpus cost
Can we get some laws to force these companies to start subsidizing the consumer grids they're pummeling? The electric bills are getting out of hand.
What does this mean? "To support the partnership, NVIDIA intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI progressively as each gigawatt is deployed."

"Good news everybody, your power bills are going up and your creaking, chronically underfunded infrastructure is even closer to collapse!"
Wouldn't Nvidia be better served investing the $100B in expanding GPU manufacturing capacity?
